Last Night Another Soldier (BBC John Peel Session) - Angelic Upstarts

Last night another soldier

Last night another child

No one seems to worry

No one sees his mother cry

Can you see that smart

Clean soldier

Standing straight and

Oh so proud

He wants to fight for

Queen and country

He wants to make his

Family proud

A job with the future

His way to get out of it

It's his sense of romance

It never ends that way

Last night another soldier

Last night another child

No one seems to worry

No one sees his mother cry

They're just facts and figures

On your TV screen

Another child and another soldier

Is peace just a dream

In the country strange and foreign

All the people resent him

He can't cope with his problems

All the fears and hatred

Now he wish he never went he

Wish he never thought of it

It's not the same as fighting armies

Looking for the terrorists

They're just facts and figures

On your TV screen

Another child and another soldier

Is peace just a dream

Can you hear the mocking laughter

From the ones that gain by it

They're not in line for the bullets

They're the ones who started it

They're just facts and figures

On your TV screen

Another child and another soldier

Is peace just a dream

Last night another soldier

Last night another child

Just a number in the papers

Another one of the innocent

They're just facts and figures

On your TV screen

Another child and another soldier

Is peace just a dream

Last night another soldier
